  • @kenyasmall8041
    @kenyasmall8041 3 года назад +30

    I have a better understanding of the budding process now. I thought budding was the process of my starter locs shrinking and knotting over time from daily moisturizing, and as my hair shrinks it begins to form a matrix of knots internally. I didn’t take into account the interaction of the starter loc with the shed hair building the internal matrix. So thank you

    • @MaryK.
      @MaryK.  3 года назад

    Girl you said you not a loctician well I beg to differ. I think you are a loctician. It’s really all about the knowledge and you definitely have it. This is the best video on utube pertaining to locs and budding. I’m as you in my four five month zone and some have loc ed others still completely unravel and I’m starting them again even at this stage. I do have a lot of budding. My budding started in the middle of my locs and some at the end but my roots just wasn’t budding or loc ing. So for me it’s frustrating but I’m hanging in there because once I saw my hair budding I knew then that eventually it will completely bud and loc throughout and your video explained just that. This video is definitely a well needed tutorial for those of us that are beginners trying to figure out what is going on with our hair. I believe this video will encourage a lot just to be patient and keep on going with the journey because everyone’s hair is different. I have started to wear my hair in more protective style to keep it from unraveling until it locs up. It’s a frustrating process for me but I’m being patient and I’m going to hang in there for a year to see how my hair turns out and yes I do my own hair. Thanks again for the knowledgeable, encouraging video. Please keep them coming. I have officially crowned you as a master loctician 🌹🌹

    Thanks for this video! My inner hair nerd likes your very scientific drawing and your humor as you teach🤓 I think you were having trouble finding a distinct bud/bulge because your loc budding looks far along, with the puffiness taking over most of the length of each loc - I'd say yours are almost "teenagers," the next milestone to watch for! Between my start on May 28 and this week (1st retwist this Sunday, July 7), I already have 1 bud on nearly every loc🎉 - more photos for my Loc Journey Album! So, I'm excited to watch your journey and read everyone's loc experiences - keep "growing," everybody!

    I will be one month loc'd on July 29thand my hair is budding like crazy. I washed it twice and I believe that helped it bud even faster. At first I was like no way my hair budding this fast but on my second wash I saw the knots/buds when my locs were wet. I was so excited. This video just confirmed I was right. I feel like at this rate im going to be fully loc'd before the year mark

    Omg!! This video was THE BEST!! Thank u soooooo much!!! I started my locs Apil 16, ‘22. My hair is long, past my shoulders. I didn’t cut it (part of my spiritual journey). My texture is really silky. My goal is the bohemian locs like Lisa Bonet’s bcuz my texture being like hers. I guess bcus of my texure my budding is a little different or i think it’s different. I started my sons and my daughters locs… i guess I didn’t pay attention other than doing their retwist. I know each journey is different. It is starting to bud though. Thank u for the visual, we all are different but this helped me more than any of the other thousands of videos I’ve watched.

    i have a couple of questions:
    1. how many times have you retwisted before the budding actually began?
    2. after their fully budded do they have to rebud if you get a retwist?
    other than that, you have the most detailed video i could find! im one week loc'd and didnt have much info. and as a person with ADHD i couldn't sit still and pay attention to any articles, but this video and the visuals helped a lot! thank you so much😁

    • @MaryK.
      @MaryK.  2 года назад +2

      Thanks so much for the compliment. 🥰 Honestly my hair was already budding in the middle within the first month. I was shocked and in disbelief. My perimeter took a little longer. I’d say by month 3-4 they were all starting to bud.
      Once you’re fully budding, you’ll feel the new buds when you retwist, but they will be smoother the more mature your locs become.
      Hopefully that answers your question completely, but if not just let me know.

As I am definitely in my budding stage and im so happy about it!! I’ve finally made some progress that I can really see! I’ve been spraying my hair with water and oil for two months now, but I’ve been growing my locs for five months so far. The moisture definitely helps speed up the locking process. I cant wait to reach my year mark! Im definitely gonna upload a video about it cause it been a long time coming lol. But anyways thanks for this info!
